The Body of Christ

Join Pastor Peter as he walks us through a special sermon looking at the entire chapter of 1 Corinthians 12, verse by verse. He looks at the topic of ‘gifts’, what it means to be a Christian, and what it means to be a part of the body of Christ. Listen and enjoy! “What does it mean for the body of Christ to embody those gifts in the unity of our gathering.” -Pastor Peter “We are His workmanship that accomplishes those works for His greater glory.” -Pastor Peter “The willful obedience of the church of God will far outstrip the glory of creation itself, even the obedience of God to Himself.” -Pastor Peter “The far greater accomplishment is to get us to obey Him, not because we have to, but because we want to.” -Pastor Peter “God’s greatest glory is to assemble His own Body, that we will want to do the works of God and not want to do anything else.” -Pastor Peter “Freedom is the ability to do what you want, when you want; the only people who are truly free are Christians- when our will and desires become aligned with the will of God.” -Pastor Peter “The more obsessed with your own desires you are, the more miserable you are.” -Pastor Peter “The more I seek my own desires, the more obsessed I become with myself.” -Pastor Peter “To be free from that means that your desires are elevated to something higher- you’re not thinking about yourself anymore.” -Pastor Peter “The more you think about you, the more in your head you get.” -Pastor Peter “It’s a version of hell- to be trapped in your own mind, over-analyzing your self.” -Pastor Peter “To be free, to be outside the fires of hell is to be thinking of something higher.” -Pastor Peter #glory#god#calvarymarana#maranaaz#calvarychapel#tucson#gifts#charismatic#will#freedom#selfish#selfie#free#others

"...That I may know Him and the power of His resurrection, and may share his sufferings, becoming like Him in death...
